Be it known that we, J OHANNES Soniirr and JOHANNES "WARNHOLTZ, both of Neumiinster, in Holstein, Kingdom of Prussia, German Empire, have jointly invented certain new and useful improvements in Ring-Spinning Frames; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as ,will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,. which form part of this specification, and in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding objects.

Figure 1 is a vertical central section of the improved ring r and its attachments, showing the cop, its spindle, and quill in elevation, also the posts cl. Fig. 2- is a top View of the same. Figs. 3 and 4; are plan and sectional views of modifications of the invention. Fig. 5 is a central section of a modified form of sleeve forthe ring. 6 is a central .section, and Fig. 7 a plan View of still another modification.

The object of the invention is to furnish a spinning-ring which-allows the forming of cops not only on bobbins of the usual large diame ter, but also on such of the smallest diameteras paper or sheet-metal quills-or directly on the spindle. In all those cases where the yarn is intended for weaving purposes, and where formerly the cops wound on large bobbins or quills had to be brought by extra spooling on small bobbins fitting the shuttle of the 100111, this extra spooling is avoided.

By means of the new ring arrangement the cops are spun directly on the shuttle-bobbins. Besides this advantage, the new arrangement forms a regulator of the tension of the yarn and diminishes the danger of breaking the latter.

The invention is applicable to coarse and fine yarn, and to machines with movable ring or spindle rail.

The spindle a, with its bobbin or quill s and cop is, is held on suitable step, and revolved by a belt that surrounds the pulley on the spindle c.

h is a sleeve which surrounds the spindle a concentrically, and is supported on the ringrail 1". By a belt passing around a pulley, 'v, of the sleeve, the latter is rotated in the same direction as the spindle a, but a little faster. The bolts that pass around the said pulleys to the same or separate driving-shaft are shown. The pulley volving the sleeve 71, must be larger than pullcy Q, which carries the belt for the spindle a, the relative diameters varying with the relative differences in speed that maybe required. The rotation of the spindle a and of the sleeve It may, however, also be produced in other convenient and suitable manner, as by gearing or friction.

On the pulley v or other collar of the sleeve h rests the-ring i", made of light material-such as sheet-metal, rubber, or the like which ring has a lower rim or flange. The body of the ring a" is cylindrical; but it may be bulged, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 1. On its top the ring 0' has a flange similar to the lower flange, and at the top it also carries a wlre loop or yarn-eye, o. The lid d isfastened adjustably as to its distance above the top flange of the ring 9' to rods or standards (i that are secured to the ring-rail r, and has a round opening the diameter of which is smaller than that of the top flange of the ring 1'. The ring 1' is carried round with the sleeve 71- by the frie tion between the lower flange of the ring 0' and the pulley o, thereby producing the twist of the yarn, leaving the latter to be wound upon the quills s, so as to produce the cop 7a.

If at any time during operation too great tension of the yarn is created by the action of the revolving cop is upon the yarn that is delivered to it, the ring 0' will be raised, the friction between the ring 9 and the sleeve h decreased, and with it the velocity of revolution of said ring, until the tension is again properly reduced to the normal degree. It is easily understood that the ring 9' thus serves to regulate the tcnsion, and that the tension of the yarn in turn influences the velocity of revolution of the ring 0-. In cases of sudden and strong fluctuationsljth e ring 1- may be raised till I? on the driving-shaft S, for reits upper flange touches the under side of the lid cl, whereby the motion of the ring 1* is still more reduced, or the same stopped entirely, correspondingly lessening the tension, and therefore avoiding the breaking of the yarn. The weight of the ring 1" has to conform to the thickness of the yarn.

In Fig. 5 is indicated one mode of ballasting the ring 1' by a set of rings resting on its lower flange, the number of which is increased or decreased as wanted; but the same object can be carried out by other constructions. The bean ing of the sleeve on the ring-rail 9" may be made in suitable manner. Thus in Fig. l the sleeve h is shown to revolve in brassesf, with which the aperture in the ring-rail?" is lined. In Fig. 5 the bearing of the sleeve h is composed of an outer bearing-plate fitting an annular bearing-groove of the sleeve 71/. The sleeve h revolves frcel y between the half-circle and the slide, and can conveniently be removed by pushing back the slide. The lid (Z may be made in one piece sliding along two rods, (1*, that are fastened to the ring-rail r, and adjusted in regard to its position by guidetubes adjustably screwed to the rods, Fig. 1;

or the lid d may be in. shape of two plates,

each hinged to a standard of the ring-rail 1-, Figs. 6 and 7 5 or the lid may be otherwise construeted or held. The yarn-eye may be a wire loop, as in Figs. 1, 2, and 6; or it may be a small horizontal pipe fastened to the upper flange of the ring 1', as in Fig. at. In Fig. 3 is shown an equivalent for the loop 0, in form of small holes in the upper flange of the ring a". To facilitate the placing of the loop correctlythat is to say, at such a point that the yarn does not draw the ring asidewiseit is preferred to make the race or upper edge of the sleeve h rounded, as in Fig. 1, and preferably a little overhanging to outward, as in Figs. 3 and 4. This will make the yarn extend in vertical direction from the eye 0 to the said race or edge.

e claim- 1. The combination of the ringrail r, lid (7, and sleeve 71, with the vertically-movable ring 0, having top and bottom flanges and eye 0, and with the spindlea and posts d substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The sleeve 71, having an overhanging race which is situated vertically over the yarneye 0, combined with said yarn-eye and with the ring 1', carrying the same, substantially as herein shown and described.

This specification signed by us this 17th day of August, 1882.
